It feels like it’s been a long, cold winter here in Australia, and living in Melbourne we are really feeling it! I’ve been making soups at least a few times a week and came up with this delicious Chunky Vegetable and Lentil Soup that’s sure to warm your bones!
There’s nothing quite like a winter warming soup – it really soothes you and is so comforting! I love flavouring mine with spices and lots of veggies! If it’s a soup like this I sometimes like to top it with a coconut yogurt and some toasted nuts and seeds too.
I love lentils in this soup, but if you don’t have them on hand, you could try another bean, like red kidney beans, chickpeas, cannellini beans etc.
If you love soups, be sure to try out our Warming Potato and Leek Soup, our Chickpea Tomato Soup, our Vegan Beef and Bean Noodle Soup, our Beetroot Soup, and our Potato Soup with Sautéed Mushrooms, Kale and Garlic. So many warming soups to try when it’s cold outside! We even have a Raw Tom Kha Soup!
